Parallel & Perpendicular Lines

Front

What are parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet. They have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

Front

What are perpendicular lines?

Back

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees). The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm' in the equation of a line, and is calculated as the rise over run.

Front

How do you determine if two lines are parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m) in their equations.

Front

How do you determine if two lines are perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.
